February 18: Home to PSG (Champions League)

On February 18th, Borussia Dortmund will host former manager Thomas Tuchel at the Westfalenstadion in what will be an exciting clash of two top European clubs. Dortmund drew PSG in the round of 16 and face a daunting task of keeping one of the best sides in world football quiet over two legs.

Thomas Tuchel is an exceptional coach, maybe not the best manager, but his coaching and planning ability is top notch. He will be well prepared for the meeting with his old club and Dormtund will need to be at their best if they’re going to stand a chance. It’s not only Tuchel who makes his return, Abdou Diallo will face his former teammates for the first time since his summer departure.

Going up against a squad as good as PSG is going to be massive for Dortmund, a win against them would send a massive message to the Dortmund squad. Squaring off against the likes of Neymar and Mbappe will push Dortmund to their absolute limits.
